For Ayre... History is about to reapeat itself once again...

In 1996 Ayre introduced the K-1 preamplifier - a design so innovative and with such advanced technologies that more than a decade later it is still considered one of the finest components available.

Now in 2008 history will repeat itself...

The NEW KX-R preamplifier elevates the art of preamplification to a much higher plane. Building on Ayre’s zero-feedback, fully-balanced foundation, the KX-R transcends all other designs with its radical new concepts.

The revolutionary Variable Gain Transimpedance (VGT) amplification circuit for example, eliminates the conventional attenuator-based volume control completely. This simplified signal path delivers the music directly for a full and complete experience.

The Ayre KX-R is the perfect partner for the MX-R Monoblocks.

Features include:

Variable Gain Transimpedance (VGT) volume circuit
Zero-feedback, fully-balanced discrete circuitry
Fly-by-wire control system
Equilock circuitry for active gain devices
Dimmable silent-mode fluorescent display
Ultra-high-speed circuit board material
Solid aluminium monocoque chassis
Full-functional remote control operation
Input ground switching for true source isolation
Eight inputs; four balanced, four single-ended
Two balanced outputs, two balanced tape outputs
Programmable processor pass-through input
AyreLink communication system
